There's a recent article from Cheapism that ranks the best cheap lunches in every state, and they chose the Buffalo Cafe in Twin Falls as the best lunch in the state of Idaho.

They said, "Customers on Yelp describe the ambiance as "divey" but say this breakfast-and-lunch spot is always busy, the staff is hardworking and friendly, and the food is excellent."

Reviewers also highly-recommend the homemade jams! If you're there for lunch, the 1/3-pound buffalo burger is another popular recommendation.

But it's not just about the food—it's the overall experience. The drive itself offers a scenic escape, providing a refreshing change of pace. And when you arrive, you'll be embraced by that irresistible small-town charm.
